I would just like one thread for brexiters only please.

I voted leave. I would vote leave again and again and again. There has been nothing to change my mind. I have been hardened by the views of remainers.

I would really like to talk to other brexit minded posters.
Thanks.

suziewoozie, take a step back and look at yourself. I dont care what you think. This is a place of positive new starts and looking forward in hope I accept because there is nothing done yet and 11 days is a long time..... but we are still counting .
Come on Boris!

Will pop in occasionally without criticising but simply to read the posts extolling the advantages and benefits of leaving. Good luck with that.
One small hitch.
If we take BJ at his word shouldn't he be 'dead in a ditch' by now since he preferred that to asking for an extension?

So, here goes, when, ..... if.... we manage to get out of the EU on October 31st as I am still hoping, I have decided as I indicated earlier to have a little celebration. No street parties, just a few sparklers in the back garden and nice supper for my family.

I will be so happy. Happiness is always fleeting but for me it will be a new beginning. A change to look forward to. I hope to see more positive people around me for a start.

I also think I may well feel an element of relief. The end of the EU era.

suziewoozie Sun 20-Oct-19 18:27:03

The title can say what it wants - my mother used to say’I want never gets’. Why are Brexiters so against open debate about the advantages of leaving the EU?

suziewoozie Sun 20-Oct-19 18:24:35

You may have wanted that april but you’d no right to even begin to expect it. Why want a one sided discussion anyway?

Rogues Letwin, Rudd et al change boats mid-sstream.
All I can say is TGFT...

Dottynan Sun 20-Oct-19 18:23:07

There is nothing wrong with that Aprilrose it makes sense as soon as remainers join in it becomes difficult and gets waylaid

Gaunt47 Sun 20-Oct-19 18:22:45

I voted to leave, and would do so again, like other posters on this thread. And I thought the thread title perfectly acceptable. We don't need to start a FB page or PM each other, the title says it all doesn't it? confused

aprilrose Sun 20-Oct-19 18:19:23

Don’t be so ridiculous - allowing a whole thread to just bad mouth Remainers

There is no intention to bad mouth remainers. many can do that well enough for themselves. I was envisaging a place free from them so that we didnt have to think about them but rather discuss leaving the EU.

Each leaver on this thread has said they had their reasons for voting to leave, which I'm sure were relevant to them, but they've also said they are not going to share them. Why? Genuine question, because if you're not going to divulge your reasons, or say what actual positive things you think will happen when we leave, what's the point in having a discussion about it at all?

suziewoozie Sun 20-Oct-19 18:17:04

I would be making all these points on any thread that was deliberately set up to exclude people

Dottynan Sun 20-Oct-19 18:16:53

It would be lovely to see a grown up discussion on Gransnet with out insults being traded from EITHER side

suziewoozie Sun 20-Oct-19 18:15:26

If Brexiters want a really safe space to share their views, they could PM each other or set up a private FB group. If they want to share their views on here, on a public open forum, then they must accept and expect responses from those with different views. Tough

Labaik Sun 20-Oct-19 18:15:21

I think this thread is a good idea and look forward to reading some constructive comments about Brexit.....

Boosgran Sun 20-Oct-19 18:15:19

Hi aprilrose another leaver here. Forgive me if I don’t respond to the continuing insults of some remainers on GN and I’m not explaining to anyone why I voted leave but would do so again if there was to be another referendum which is highly unlikely. I would add that if leave had lost the vote in 2016 I would have respected and accepted the result and moved on. It seems to me that some remainers just cannot accept the result of the referendum. Hopefully the deal Boris has negotiated next week will go through and we can all move on.

suziewoozie Sun 20-Oct-19 18:12:35

growstuff on another day, another time I might do that but today, ain’t gonna happen.

suziewoozie Sun 20-Oct-19 18:10:55

That’s fine Dotty but the sourness was started by the OP with the thread title.

suziewoozie Sun 20-Oct-19 18:09:25

It’s a pity the OP needed telling anything - she could just have started a thread about how she felt about Brexit but instead she decided to be goady. Grown ups on GN start threads all the time on subjects theta know will provoke disagreement but they aren’t arrogant ( or childish) enough to tell those who disagree with them to stay off the thread. Neither do most posters think that expressing a contrary point of view is ‘forcing your opinion across’. Bit there you go.

Dottynan Sun 20-Oct-19 18:09:10

Oh dear doesn't take long for sourness to start..... I know why I voted to leave and nothing has changed.

growstuff Sun 20-Oct-19 18:06:29

Leave it suzie. They're not worth it.

Urmstongran Sun 20-Oct-19 18:04:05

Told you aprilrose! And you’ve only just got started! Actually it’s great to see some new posters names isn’t it? I do think a lot of Leavers ‘lurk’ and don’t usually post.

Even if they come on your thread and just say ‘I’m with you’ it’ll be good to see our numbers swell.
?

I TOTALLY agree aprilrose about that wonderful feeling of euphoria the day after the referendum! So many people were grinning and the mood was joyous!

suziewoozie Sun 20-Oct-19 17:58:22

Intimidation on GN ? As in ........???

suziewoozie Sun 20-Oct-19 17:57:29

And how would posting in disagreement with the OP be ‘forcing my point of view across’ exactly toscalily.

crystaltipps Sun 20-Oct-19 17:56:15

Hope you’re dreams come true. No more foreigners and Tories or Nigel permanently in control. Cricket on the green and jam for tea. Enjoy your bubble.

suziewoozie Sun 20-Oct-19 17:54:34

Don’t be so ridiculous - allowing a whole thread to just bad mouth Remainers and claim some high moral ground without being challenged which the OP has just done-no way. GN doesn’t work like that. It’s perfectly fine to start a thread about how you feel as. Brexiter but telling Remainers to stay off the thread is simply pathetic and does Brexiters no good.
